Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application Holy Bible ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and its related services.

When you register for an account, we may collect information such as:

Donation Information

If you choose to make a donation, we collect your name, email address, and donation amount to process the transaction and issue receipts.

Profile Photo

If you choose to add a profile photo, we request access to your camera or photo library so you can take or select an image. We only access this on your explicit action and only to set your profile photo.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Authenticate your identity and provide access to the app
• Sync your notes across devices
• Send push notifications you've opted into, such as the Verse of the Day, reading plan reminders, and daily devotions
• Process donations you choose to make
• Maintain and improve our services
• Communicate important updates about the app
• Analyze app performance and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations

Data Hosting and Security

We are committed to protecting your information. Your data is hosted on secure servers located in Ghana through our third-party hosting providers. We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• With service providers (like our hosting partners) who assist in operating our app
• When required by law or to protect our rights
• In the event of a business transfer or merger

Third-Party Services

Holy Bible is free to use and does not contain advertisements. We do not use any advertising or ad-tracking services. We work with a small number of third-party services to operate the app:

Push Notifications

We use Expo's push notification service, together with Apple's and Google's notification services, to deliver push notifications you've opted into, such as the Verse of the Day, reading plan reminders, and daily devotions. A push token for your device is stored on our servers and linked to your account (or to the device alone if you are not signed in) so notifications can be delivered to you, and Expo and these providers process that token and the notification content to deliver it.

Sign-In with Google and Apple

If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information — such as your name, email address, and profile picture — from that provider to create and authenticate your account. We never receive your Google or Apple password.

Donations and Payment Processing

If you choose to make a donation, payments are processed by Paystack. We do not collect or store your card details — these are handled directly by Paystack in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Crash and Error Reporting

We use GlitchTip, an error-tracking service, to automatically collect crash reports and error logs so we can diagnose and fix problems with the app. This may include device information and app usage data at the time of the error.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your notes and data
• Opt-out of non-essential data collection

Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
